And again, it points up the dishonesty of Biden’s debate performance. Ryan said we would only deploy troops to secure the chemical weapons sites, which Biden mocked. And 24 hours later we find out we are deploying troops into Jordan to be ready to deal with Syria’s chemical weapons.
Smart political move on Obama’s part. It’ll likely slow the bleeding in his campaign.
Do they have weapons?
It’s prep for October Surprise:
Amb Stevens’ job was 1.) get weapons to anti-Khaddafi rebels 2.) Funnel post-Khaddafi weapons to Syria 3.) Try to recover 20,000 SA-24 MANPADS (portable air defense) missiles from the rebels
But US support for Syrian rebels (who are 1/2 AQ and MB) is raising a MUUUUCH higher level of Russian and Turkish concern than is generally understood.
This all has a chance of kicking off WWIII, or at least providing a level of election distraction that is up about 10 notches from what we are usually thinking.
Hmmm....would a guy OK with smuggling machine-guns to DRUG DEALERS (even if it killed US officers and maybe thousands of poor brown Mexicans) really DO that? Would Barry have some henchmen pose as baaaaad Assad guys using a wee bit of Chem weapons, thereby compelling US intervention...?
Would Barry pull a FRAME UP....?
Ah...yes, he WOULD.
Turkey is a member of NATO, and this is Barry’s backdoor to set in motion a chain of events that will make him El Presedente for LIFE.
A small number of US troops in a brewing Islamic hotspot.
Likely with no armor, air cover or loaded weapons.
What could possibly go wrong?
